 Dandelions taken at sunset. Not much spot editing at all. I underexposed the shot to begin with, then fiddled with levels until it seemed appropriate and so the dandelion heads were isolated sufficiently. I did erase a few little spots that were left so I'd have a pure black field. I desaturated, then added the bluish color.

Hmmmm. Can't think of a good title.
